Many people are wondering how widespread the local effects of the government shutdown will be.

From furloughs to one of the state’s main tourist attractions being closed, Hawaii is going to be affected.

People who shop at military commissaries, like the one on Bougainville Drive, will soon have to shop elsewhere.

“I normally buy one week at a time, and I have a pretty set budget. And I decided this week I was going to go ahead and buy a little more just in case it affected it,” Foster Village resident Kristy McGinnis said.

The commissaries will be open Tuesday, but will start closing after that, once they sell their perishable items.

It’s not only shipyard workers who are affected, but many other federal employees as well.

“There’s about 20,000 in Hawaii who are DOD-related, and 25,000 that are other than DOD-related. So they’re all supposed to report tomorrow and be told whether they’ll be furloughed or not,” U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa (D-Hawaii) said.

Hanabusa is closing her Honolulu office and furloughing most of her district staff.

“We were first of all hoping it wouldn’t get to that point, but we told the employees that we’re going to run with as limited a crew as we believe we can function with. And we’re hoping they will end very shortly,” Hanabusa said.

Also, expect the underwriting and approval process for government-backed mortgages to take longer than normal.

Time will tell what kind of trickle down effect a shutdown will have on other areas like retail.
